Michio Kaku (/ˈmiːtʃioʊ ˈkɑːkuː/; born 1947) is an American theoretical physicistfuturist, and popularizer of science.

He is professor of theoretical physics in the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center.

Kaku has written several books about physics and related topics, has made frequent appearances on radio, television, and film, and writes online blogs and articles.

He has written three New York Times best sellers

Physics of the Impossible (2008), 
Physics of the Future (2011),
and The Future of the Mind (2014).


Kaku has hosted several TV specials for the BBC, the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, and the Science Channel

Academic career[edit]

As part of the research program in 1975 and 1977 at the department of physics at The City College of The City University of New York, Kaku worked on research on quantum mechanics.[4][5] He was a Visitor and Member (1973 and 1990) at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and New York University. He currently holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York.[6]

Kaku had a role in breaking the SSFL (Santa Susana Field Laboratory) story in 1979. The Santa Susana facility run by RocketDyne was responsible for an experimental sodium reactor which had an accident in Simi Valley in the 1950s. Kaku was a student involved in breaking the story of the leak of radiation.

Kaku has had more than 70 articles published in physics journals such as Physical Review, covering topics such as superstring theorysupergravitysupersymmetry, and hadronic physics.[7] In 1974, Kaku and Prof. Keiji Kikkawa of Osaka University co-authored the first papers describing string theory in a field form.[8]

Kaku is the author of several textbooks on string theory and quantum field theory.
